Beyonce, Jay-Z filed marriage license
SCARSDALE, N.Y. (AP) - April 22, 2008 The license was received by mail last Friday, says Scarsdale
Clerk Donna Conkling. She would not say who officiated.
The celebrities and their representatives had refused to confirm
widespread rumors about the marriage. But there was a lavish party
at Jay-Z's Manhattan apartment on April 4, with guests including
Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyonce's former Destiny's Child bandmates,
Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
The couple have apparently been dating for six years. Knowles,
26, and Jay-Z, 38, whose real name is Shawn Carter, have
collaborated on the songs "'03 Bonnie and Clyde" and "Crazy In
Love."
